Cristhiano André Duarte
As you can perceive, my name is Cristhiano André Duarte (or Cris for short). Currently I have a Post-Doc position at Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). My, recent, Ph.D was in Mathematics, also at UFMG. I'm an element belonging to EnLight Group. My interests range from pure math stuff to applied physics. I'm very collaborative, and if you want to talk about any academic thing, don't hesitate to contact me.

About Quantum Information
Quantum information science (QIS) is a new field of science and technology which draws upon the disciplines of physical science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Its aim is to understand how fundamental physical laws can be harnessed to dramatically improve the acquisition, transmission, and processing of information.
The inspiration for QIS is the discovery that quantum mechanics can be exploited to perform important and otherwise intractable information-processing tasks. Quantum effects have already been used to create fundamentally unbreakable cryptographic codes, to teleport the full quantum state of a photon, and to compute certain functions in fewer steps than any classical computer can.
Even aside from its technological implications, QIS is an intellectually stimulating basic research field. Fundamental questions such as "What is the computational power of Nature?", "Can measurement be reversed?" and "How much information can we learn?" continue to drive the field and inspire new research directions. We expect that QIS will have an extensive impact on how science is taught at the college and secondary level. We also expect that QIS paradigms will enable quantum physics to be understood better by a broad segment of the lay public.
